[hearty quiver]

Hi guys, I m going to buy a gaming mouse.Any recommended?

[strange finch]

depends on your budget, hand size, and grip type

[astral acorn]

rival 3 if budget

low budget*

[silent parrot]

Is there a way to sync the Apex 3 and the rival 3 lighting?

With the wave setting for example

[valid sedge]

I dont think but im sure there is something you can do to make it look good

[astral acorn]

i think you can use the app prism sync

[silent parrot]

oh

[valid sedge]

what is prism sync

And i dont think it would work with steelseries they have their own app

[silent parrot]

Its in the engine

[astral acorn]

yea

[valid sedge]

Oh

[silent parrot]

an engine spp

[valid sedge]

My bad

[stray axle]

arctis pro wireless a good buy?

[valid sedge]

Yea if you have the money

[stray axle]

ok

[silent parrot]

I have another question

On the Apex 3 next to the numblock the keys are labeled with M

M1-M6

Is there a way to bind those or smth?

[spare wadi]

SteelSeries GG have been taking roughly 20% of my CPU and doesn't open when i want it to. I deleted it for this reason and it still opens as a background application even after it was deleted. Any suggestions?

[astral acorn]

task manager???

[spare wadi]

Yes

[astral acorn]

pretty sure everykey can be binned

[silent parrot]

But i mean like

Hmm

[astral acorn]

macors>>>

[silent parrot]

Not that easy to explain

[astral acorn]

???

prb just that

macros

[silent parrot]

Why are they labeled with M1-6?

[astral acorn]

try finding the file or your computer and deleting it???

if not

[spare wadi]

I have

[astral acorn]

do win+r

and find the loca file

that is the best way

[astral acorn]

macro 1 macro 2

i think

[silent parrot]

oh

The f10 key is labeled with an m

starts recording

[astral acorn]

yes

hold it for 5 s

or is it 3

[silent parrot]

Yea

[strange finch]

can't you just use steelseries engine/gg to rebind?

not sure what all this is about finding a local file

[tidal vapor]

2 more hours of work to goooo wooo

[clever aspen]

Finally was able to order my arctis 9 wireless!!!

[tidal vapor]

nice whens it coming ?

[stray axle]

nice

just dont drop it

or throw it against a wall

👍

[tawny fiber]

So tempting to buy the 9 wireless.... But thinking I'll hold out for a Pro Wireless refresh

[cunning gull]

hello! anybody knows where i can find the arctics 7x? i can't find it 😦 im in miami btw

[abstract locust]

I have a question can anyone help?

[stray axle]

yes in #archive-user-support!

[abstract locust]

Thank you.

Can anyone help me in #archive-user-support I needed help with my headset

[mental gyro]

aorux 3 wireless?

what was it called

looking to buy one

aerox 3, gotta go wireless

already got 5-10 perforated wired.

[abstract locust]

Does anyone got Arctic’s 1s wireless?

[mental gyro]

i considered those down the mall couple years back

headsets are a burden so yeh, didn't buy

[lethal zinc]

is it possible to switch the keycaps on the apex 5

?

[mental gyro]

why bother

[lethal zinc]

you mean me?

[mental gyro]

yeah i mean

those things are meant to be used stock

sorta

[lethal zinc]

i just wanted to swithc to those hyper x keycaps

[mental gyro]

oh

[lethal zinc]

these kinda clear ones i think they look good and i just wondered

[mental gyro]

yeah clear caps are what i need as well

i got blacks on my topre, can't read anything...

[lethal zinc]

wait but is it possible to even do that cause iikcv mkldofvbmdckvbjfgjbgfjbnfdgkjb nfdkjl bnfljk bcfdvjkn bjklfdnb jkfgnbjlkngfnnbnbnhbnbngfdb fvc dflvndfslkbv fgdbjhfgjbnfgfi rghoiuerhiuyriuyrtiugnrfiuvynviyurengfviuyfgrnvugfrnvnugfvhnvhufgrdjnk

oops my bad

[mental gyro]

i'm not the most knowing on steelseries boards

prolly check what caps it's compatible to be changed on google

[lethal zinc]

yep

googled it and seems like you can

[mental gyro]

nice

[lethal zinc]

but on another completely different note

do you know anything about gamesense essentials?

[mental gyro]

isn't that the software for your steelseries stuff?

well i'm heading out, has been a rough day

[strange finch]

if it's a cherry mx or clone, then cherry mx compatible keycaps will physically fit

layout wise, the big gaming companies don't follow a standard layout, so the bottom row often has issues with standardized keycaps

something like an alps switch would require a different kind of keycap entirely

custom "hybrid" switches often don't use cherry stems too

[soft wing]

@proper summit no self promo

[tawny fiber]

Has anyone heard the difference between the Pro Wireless and the 9 Wireless with their own ears and have thoughts on it?

[tidal vapor]

is it bedtime yet ?

[lethal zinc]

can anyone help me with something, message me in private if you can

[strange finch]

just put the issue in chat rather than making people ask you what the issue is

[lethal zinc]

gamesense essentials dont work for me and idk why

[clever aspen]

ill try my best not to

[stray axle]

lol

[strange finch]

looks like gamesense essentials hasn't been updated in forever

alternative is to try gamesense ultimate

[soft wing]

it has arrived

[delicate vortex]

will there be an update where game alert illumination will work in Valorant?

[cunning moth]

Probably wont

[delicate vortex]

😦

[real crow]

@signal pendant Cease

[soft wing]

@signal pendant no

We don’t do that here

[signal pendant]

wow, i was in the middle of watching a good movie

[soft wing]

You sending a copy pasta

[signal pendant]

and then i get pinged

how wise

[real crow]

I-

[soft wing]

Record didnt need to ping you but i did

[signal pendant]

so why did i get pinged?

did something bad happen...

[soft wing]

you sent a copy pasta which again, we dont do here

[signal pendant]

oh okay

my bad

[deft cove]

never gonna let you go never gonna let you down never gonna turn around and desert you

[deft cove]

what is copy pasta

[soft wing]

something meant to clutter chats and be copy and pasted between servers or places of communications

[ruby tendon]

Oh, those are annoying

[twin socket]

Hey everyone

[soft wing]

howdy

[keen bone]

Wassup

[twin socket]

Can anyone help me find the drivers of Arctis 1 Wired?

[cunning moth]

You can't download headset specific drivers lol

All you can do is update firmware in the engine

[twin socket]

"lol"?

How am I supposed to make my PC recognise the damn headset then, if it's not supported by the Engine?

Ever thought of that, lol?

[strange finch]

spicy

[twin socket]

yeah, spicy for dumbarses

[strange finch]

relax

[twin socket]

im chill

[strange finch]

arctis 1 is just standard 3.5mm jack, no?

[twin socket]

yes

[strange finch]

why would you need drivers

it's an analog device

[twin socket]

my friend of mine bought it, says his PC doesnt recognise it

[strange finch]

is he using a combined or split jack

did he plug stuff into the wrong place

[twin socket]

split, both in correct jacks

[strange finch]

because there should be pretty much zero setup

[twin socket]

afaik should be, yes

[strange finch]

could be that he needs to roll back to default windows sound drivers

[twin socket]

but he says it doesnt get recognised

[strange finch]

but there are no arctis 1 specific drivers

[twin socket]

tried that with him

[strange finch]

so melker is right

no need to be crass

[twin socket]

i reserve the right to be crass

[delicate vortex]

you just need to plug it in and check the output and input and it will work

[strange finch]

you don't reserve anything, it's a private server

[twin socket]

mate kick me then

not up to you or your friend melker or me

[strange finch]

hey @soft wing mind taking care of this

[soft wing]

Whats up?

[twin socket]

i dont want to deal with these dumbarses anyway

[soft wing]

Whats the issue

[strange finch]

Clairvoyance is pissed at his friend's headset not working and has decided to come in here and be rude

[twin socket]

i ask a sincere and a polite question, and this guy just comes in with "haha git gud nothing like that lul"

whats the need for that?

[strange finch]

he didn't say "git gud" nor did he make fun of you

[cunning moth]

Man you have got to chill

I said 'lol', I wasn't exactly hurling insults at you

[placid sedge]

im copper v

very good

8u

[soft wing]

Being that i stepped away again im just catching up now

@twin socket as for the issue. The Arctis 1s Wired don't have drivers and wont be recognized by the engine. nothing connected by 3.5 or bluetooth will, only devices through usb connection will be seen in there. As for the disagreement, there is no ill intent please respect fellow server-goers

[soft wing]

So how is everyone today

[strange finch]

sad

you abandoned me today

[soft wing]

I had to step away im sorry

[spiral kite]

Yeah, Ret is an adult now. He has to do adult things like drink gfuel.

[soft wing]

ret know two thinfs

grammatical errors and gfuel

[spiral kite]

True.

[magic lichen]

If you have a apex 5 keyboard pls dm a photo as I bought one and it has not come and there where different photos so pls send me a photo

[spiral kite]

Only if you say photo three more times.

[strange finch]

sounds like you just want to look at pretty pictures of the keyboard, right?

[soft wing]

why? there are reviews and pictures all across google

[unkempt halo]

Just ordered the Arctis 9!

[hallow hill]

Lets goo

[unkempt halo]

Super excited for it. My current audio setup is so garbage.

[chrome inlet]

Ret I ordered some Sneak btw

It better turn me into an aim master

[hallow hill]

so now you never miss a shot

[spiral kite]

Trotex do you mean gfuel?

[vivid rune]

Just broke my arctis pro headset playing Rocket League RIP LMAO

[chrome inlet]

Nooope gfuel is wayyyy too expensive to get in the UK

[spiral kite]

Thought you had sneak before, so you'd know it wouldn't turn you into an aim master, because bad.

lul

❤️

[chrome inlet]

Ahahaha nah

It's $10 shipping to get it here, and then you have to pay a USD->GBP fee as well

[soft wing]

I had a buddy that bought sneak and he said he really enjoyed it

But this guy also enjoys bubblegum gfuel so idk what his tastes are

[spiral kite]

Bubblegum and cotton candy flavored anything is the nastiest crap ever.

[soft wing]

Yeah I dont understand the appeal

[chrome inlet]

there's nothing wrong with bubblegum wtf

[spiral kite]

Ew get this man outta here.

[real crow]

Depends

Some are good

Some are really not

[sinful sierra]

can some plz help me with the arctis 7

[strange finch]

don't ask to ask, just ask

also probably a #archive-user-support question

[astral acorn]

ahaha, broke 100 wpm on a ten word test with the apex 5

meahahaha

[stray axle]

Hey, when is the 7x coming to stores?

[chrome inlet]

Hawk dont hate on me :(

[spiral kite]

[tidal vapor]

Morning all

@split swan please dont spam

[bright forge]

steelseries makes the best ads

i genuinely enjoy watching them

[charred oxide]

bruh when the grips will come back in stock

for the rival 600

[dim crater]

WHAT

French apex 5 is in stock in Amazon France

But not on steelseries' website

How

[tidal vapor]

stock gets sent to different companies and places

its like with the new xbox stock gets dispatched microsoft sold out but other palaces have stock

[dim crater]

😭

[stray axle]

Why is the 7x only on the steel series website

[worn moat]

my friend managed to get a pair of 7Xs

[stray axle]

Nice

[tidal vapor]

where r from can have a look to see if there anywhere else

[worn moat]

from the steelseries website, now I see they're out

california

[stray axle]

When are they going to different stores

And does the 9x still get connectivity issues

[valid sedge]

Hellooo

[cunning moth]

Hi

[tidal vapor]

hey

[dim crater]

AMENO

my dad will order my keyboard today

it will arrive tomoorow

im

so

fucing

excited

[random zephyr]

Hi, i have a question. At the „Apps“ Tab in the SteelSeries Software is a Part „Your Own App“. Is it possible to code the own „Light Synchronisation“ die every Game? And Home

*How

[cunning moth]

Yeah, its possible as long as you know how

[random zephyr]

Sb know How?

[cunning moth]

Well for starters you need to know something like C#

[random zephyr]

Haha i am an informatics

But is there something like a guide line

[cunning moth]

Online you can find tutorials and guides for learning the language

other than that - no

[split tiger]

Hello

[stray axle]

Its so annoying on why the 7x is only on their website

[split tiger]

Hi how are you

[stray axle]

OK, I'm really annoyed right now

[cunning moth]

It's annoying that it's in stock?

[stray axle]

I'm annoyed because of a game and the fact the 7x is not in a single store

[keen bone]

Not in stock where I am

[split tiger]

In bored

[stray axle]

Is it some steel series website exclusive or what

[split tiger]

[keen bone]

Noice

[split tiger]

[tidal vapor]

nice raM HAHA

[mental gyro]

lol

i prefer those ballistix max / elite or trident-z

and maybe some other stuff. not in for those vengeance

looks funny IMHO

[cunning moth]

Yeah, i think some of the larger mouse pads are - but it will say on the website

[stray axle]

Wait so the 7x is exclusive to the official website

[mental gyro]

QCK+++ or w/e right

i got like 5 QCKs i think

i use those exclusively as either wrist for keyboards or mice

though i got some cheap HP gaming pad 100 for my mouse now

works just as good as the QCKs and slides even better.

[stray axle]

Should I go with the 9x or 7x?
I have money for both

[analog imp]

Im looking for 9x, but out of stock in France..

It depends of your requirements

[slim plinth]

yeah

[stray axle]

Well I need comfort and sound, I don't use mics so I don't care about mic quality

[slim plinth]

the 9x is more recent

[stray axle]

Battery life is meh, I can charge every day

So I care about sound and comfort, that's it

[analog imp]

I think the real interest with 9x is the connection with Xbox Wireless and Bluetooth as the same time

[slim plinth]

i don't really know

[stray axle]

They both look the same so probably the same comfort

[slim plinth]

because I have an arctis 1 wireless

[stray axle]

Is it good?

[analog imp]

In fact, I think 7x and 9x are similar, better finition on 9x maybe and Xbox Wireless + Bluetooth

but same performance

[slim plinth]

as you probably know the sound in all the arctis headsets are the same

[stray axle]

Ah so I should go with the 9x?

I heard connection issues tho

[analog imp]

U don't need dongle with 9x, maybe better

[astral acorn]

wired all the way

[analog imp]

But if u need bluetooth and xbox wireless as the same time, go 9x

[slim plinth]

I mean with a wireless headset you can also use it as wired

[stray axle]

I don't

[slim plinth]

so pc?

[stray axle]

I'm on xbox

[slim plinth]

oh ok

It's honestly up to you

maybe compare the two while doing some research

[astral acorn]

who just wants a spotify app for the oled

who uses tidal

[random zephyr]

@cunning moth so it is possible to make an app for ex. cod`?

[cunning moth]

Possibly, if you can figure out how to grab the game data

But i imagine you need a fair bit of experience beforehand

[tidal vapor]

whats everyone up to ?

[astral acorn]

schoooool

[random zephyr]

hello is there anyone who is in the meta of making apps for gamesense?????

[plush junco]

I have an external gamesense app that you can install off of github that allows you to see a clock, spotify (or whatever music you use) as well

[random zephyr]

ufuuuuf i want it

but how you did it

[plush junco]

lemme find the link

[astral acorn]

oooo

please

[random zephyr]

no hurry mate

[astral acorn]

i want

[random zephyr]

:ooo

xd

[astral acorn]

:O

[random zephyr]

😮

[plush junco]

my pc is quite slow

lol

ok I got it

[astral acorn]

yay

dm or whatever it

[plush junco]

ye I will I gotta open discord onnpc

on pc*

[astral acorn]

my laptop is slower i can tell you that

[wheat venture]

got 2 questions

[astral acorn]

ask away

[plush junco]

there's a windows and mac version

what's that

[astral acorn]

wiper has questions

i will do my best to answer

[wheat venture]

which arctis 3.5 mm to these pin things should i get

[astral acorn]

i don't know that then sorry

[wheat venture]

and is standard delivery free?

[plush junco]

should be

i think if the order is over 50 dollars it's free

[wheat venture]

i have a sharp end on 3.5mm where you plug it in to a jack

[plush junco]

@astral acorn @random zephyr I have the link

[astral acorn]

yaY

[random zephyr]

yey

send dm

[astral acorn]

thank youuu

[plush junco]

yeah it lets you see volume, the current track that is playing, and when music is paused, the time

[stray axle]

Are the steel series arctis 7 and 9 fragile?

[slim plinth]

not sure

[silk gazelle]

Are the Corsair Keycaps compatible with APEX PRO

[slim plinth]

they should be like the other headsets

so they should not be extremely fragile

[stray axle]

The headband looks fragile

[slim plinth]

true

but you can change it i thing

[keen bone]

Corsair keycaps look really bad in my opinion

[astral acorn]

yesss i am done downlaoding it

looks amazing

[plush junco]

yes

i worry that my oled will start to have burn in tho

so I try to turn it off as much as possible

not bc the app does anything wrong

[astral acorn]

?

[plush junco]

i think it's completely good

but I've heard that some peoples oled starts to get burn in after a while

[astral acorn]

oohhh

o yea it's a little warmn

[plush junco]

burn-in is when an image starts to stay on the screen permanently

[soft wing]

But burning takes a while to happen

Don’t worry

[plush junco]

how long?

[astral acorn]

my screen is a little warm tho

should i be concerend

[plush junco]

nah

[soft wing]

I’ve heard it takes a few months

That’s just hearsay by my understanding

[devout cipher]

the screen will be warm because the keyboard is

[soft wing]

Screen is also warm because it’s an Oled screen

[devout cipher]

also hey ret

[soft wing]

Hey Ben

[devout cipher]

short name gang still going strong

[soft wing]

Yessir

[random zephyr]

@soft wing your are a mod here so i will ask you. Do you exactly know how to make an own App for example for Cod/Warzone to display the kills or something like this. Because in the Software there is the filed "create your own"

[astral acorn]

hah short name gang

[devout cipher]

best place to ask that would be #oled-gifs

some people there have made there own apps so best to ask them

[random zephyr]

okay thanksssssss

[devout cipher]

also you would need to know how to code

[soft wing]

Mods don’t work for steelseries, well at least not all of them

And I have no idea

[random zephyr]

okay haha sorry i tried

@devout cipher yeah i know

[cunning moth]

@random zephyr i literally just answered your question lol

Start by learning Java or C#

[random zephyr]

nahhh you said i have to find game data but idk how and how to make it lol

i know java

[cunning moth]

Start there then

Maybe take a look at the CSGO integration for inspiration

[random zephyr]

oooof okay

[dense locust]

i have an arctis 7 and it has took 0 damage on the headband after a good 4 months

[quick ridge]

Rest in pieces Arctis 7 (2018 - 2021)

[astral acorn]

rip

[quick ridge]

he lasted a little over 2 years and gave up today

[astral acorn]

he served well

[quick ridge]

he actually did tbh

was way better than expected

does anyone know if Steelseries is planning to release a new arctis pro soon?

[foggy raptor]

can someone help me with Arctis PRO

I'm getting an awful lot of static.

Is there anywhere I can potentially get a new cable or a replacement?

[tribal pulsar]

someone asks me: razer or steelseries.
all of us are like: steelseries all the way boi

[foggy raptor]

THink I fixed it by banging it against my table

[stray axle]

oh

ggs

[soft wing]

Next time do that in bot commands

[stray axle]

literally steelseries

ok thanjs

thamks

thanks

[stray axle]

for something we are in the steelseries discord server btw

[plush junco]

how do i cancel an order

[soft wing]

in order history

[plush junco]

im on the order dashboard

[soft wing]

Yeah

[plush junco]

i ordered it yesterday, but realized I want to order the keyboard cleaning kit as well

go to #archive-user-support so I can send a pic

i wonder how much it would cost to buy one of every single product on the ss store

[soft wing]

a lot

[limber lichen]

am i the only one who cant get the "moments" features to work in the GG software ?

[cold vortex]

hav eosm equestions, 1) what hz does the oled on the apex 5 run at, amd 2) is burn-in normal?

have some questions*

[slender brook]

considering it is an oled screen, burn-in is a definite possibility

[cold vortex]

yeah i got some burn-in of the steelseries logo

[true igloo]

I have a aprex pro myself and havent had any issues w/ burn-in

[cold vortex]

weird

its burnt in for me

[true igloo]

how long have you own it?

[cold vortex]

since july i think?

no, may

may 2020-ish

[true igloo]

might be worth heading to #official-support and contacting someone from the CX team.

[cold vortex]

for replacement or

[stray axle]

rgb doesnt work n i just got it, not the fact i need rgb but i guess I paid for it.

[strange needle]

What's the difference between the 1 wireless and 7x,besides $50?

[cold vortex]

idk for replacement or somethign for the contact, its still in warranty though, however, out of refund timezones

[true igloo]

not sure if it can be fixed without being replaced, but if the burn-in is bothering you, the CX team might have a solutions for you.

[cold vortex]

ok

[true igloo]

Good luck!

[cold vortex]

ty

[true igloo]

check out #official-support and see if any of the guides might be able to help you

[stray axle]

okay ty

[true igloo]

Good Luck!

[true igloo]

I believe the 2 main differences are the headband design and the ChatMix Dial

[stray axle]

i lost my dad 3 hours ago in the hostpital and i want to end it all should i?

[rapid estuary]

no

I've been battling with depression a lot myself, but I always manage to convince myself to do it later, because tomorrow I might be just a bit happier.

[true igloo]

Sorry for your loss. This is probably not the best forum to discuss this sort of thing, but just know you have people that you can reach out to for support

lets end the convo right here folks

[mental gyro]

agreed

[coral ibex]

aaaaand my 3rd Arctis Pro unit is broken

[stray axle]

...

[rapid estuary]

BRUH

[coral ibex]

dropped from 0.5m lol

big L for me

[mental gyro]

kek

i mean, pasta..

rip.

[coral ibex]

just gotta hope the shop still gives me a free replacement

[true igloo]

sorry to hear =/. head over to #official-support and hopefully the CX team can take care of you

[tawny fiber]

Brutal...

[mental gyro]

doom

(:

[coral ibex]

nah thx

just here to vent about the sht build quality on arctis pro

[tawny fiber]

I was gonna get the Pro Wireless... but so many issues. I was debating it over the 9 Wireless, but maybe they are essentially the same 🤷‍♂️

[mental gyro]

why not rock speakers at low volume if you're so concerned about steelseries cans?

[coral ibex]

I had the Arctis 5 Legacy for 2 years and it never had any issues even tho I dropped it many times from like 1m high

[stray axle]

Eating apple slices aggressively

[coral ibex]

dropped these pros once and the hinge sounds like it doesn't like living

[true igloo]

I've had my APW for half a year now and havent had any issue tbh. (not trying to sound bias :p)

[tawny fiber]

None of the static noise issues either you hear about?

[coral ibex]

SteelSeries products are such a hit and miss

[true igloo]

nope never had any issues with static noise

[tawny fiber]

I just wish they'd release a new version... When was the last update? Almost 2 years now?

[coral ibex]

if you buy the current arctis just be aware of the bad quality

I hope they release a new version soon too with a lot better build quality.

The headset is so great otherwise, which is why I'm kinda stuck with them

but what I don't understand is the Arctis Pros were released in 2018, yet they still haven't made a recall or anything about the build quality issues...

[tidal vapor]

^^^ lol u are a joker

[leaden widget]

Someone thats from spain yo play the gregs cup in fortnite

[astral acorn]

do you rage homie, i had a headset from a trip on the pane, i use it for games it it lasted me a good year

[coral ibex]

I don't even play games that much, so no I don't

[astral acorn]

oh

[rapid estuary]

I only dislike the rival 600/650 rubber pads

[coral ibex]

when I have time to play I just play some chilly games, I only use these for video watching/editing

[astral acorn]

then it might be the actual bulid quality now

[stark rampart]

I'm not sure the issues are as big as some people make it out to be

[astral acorn]

my hyperx that i got it becoming weak, flexing a little, want an artic headset

[stark rampart]

I know it's anecdotal but I've used an APW set since before they launched and haven't had a single issue

Plus we've used 10+ different Arctis headsets at the office and not one of them has had any hinge issues or anything

(and just fyi I don't work for SteelSeries we just have a lot of their stuff :D )

[astral acorn]

prb just the one he got then

[stark rampart]

There's def people who experience problems with the hinges

I suspect some are legitimate issues, problems are pretty much impossible to avoid

[astral acorn]

mhm

like my sqweaky e on my apex 5

what can you do

[coral ibex]

I think it's somewhat wide spread. My brother has the "new" Arctis 3, he has the same issue. Also a friend of mine had the Pro Wireless, he returned them for the same issue. And I don't know many other people who have ss headset

[stark rampart]

But I wouldn't be surprised if many "it just happened on its own" is really people who mishandled the headset and wants a free replacement

[astral acorn]

e is the most common letter in the alphebet

[coral ibex]

It's true, it does not happen on their own (unless you just use them a lot and have a big head (like my brother has), then it may happen on it's own).

But these fell off from 0.5m, I don't think SS should just go around telling people "just dont drop them", because accidents happen. Many people especially with wired headsets do drop them often

[stark rampart]

I've dropped Arctis headsets plenty of times

[coral ibex]

And as I've mentioned, Arctis 5 legacy for example did not have these issues

[astral acorn]

some problems are even fixable like a loose screw or smth, people just want to abuse the warranty

[coral ibex]

if you think this is fixable please tell me how i dont want another replacement

I don't want to abuse the warranty system, especially since I have no reason to. The headset doesn't have any scratching or signs it was ever dropped, so there's no reason to " abuse" the system

[astral acorn]

i means somee situatins are fixable not all, and i am not clear with your situations, so, sorry

i wasn't talking about you just there is people that does it

[coral ibex]

True, but there are people with legitment issues. I'm probably pretty sus in SS eyes since I've returned so much their stuff, but it's because the legitment problems

[astral acorn]

yea

i have a friend that has like ten g502s he keeps breaking them

lmao

[coral ibex]

Like when Apex M750 was still a thing, I had it for a year, had 3 replacement units, all had the same main issue. Somehow got my money back right at the end of the warranty.

[astral acorn]

oh that's nice ig

[coral ibex]

so yeah that was it for SS keyboards for me, I'm not sure how great the current ones are but the issues I had on M750 don't tempt me much on buying a new SS keyboard anytime soon.

[astral acorn]

i just want a ss mouse to complete the hands, like a ss mouse and keyboard

[stray axle]

i need help with my headset but nobody looks at support

[rapid estuary]

The only issue I've had was when the left click button on my mouse stopped working

[coral ibex]

I have those issues too

that's why I have a can of pressurised air beside me

[stray axle]

i have an issue

who can help

its with the mic

[coral ibex]

what's the issue sir

[stray axle]

the mic makes a beeping noice when i use the mic

what do i do then @coral ibex

[coral ibex]

does it also happen when using the mic on discord?

[stray axle]

havent tryed only on a mic test

[zinc ravine]

have u tried reinstalling the ss software

[stray axle]

it was muted

oops

[astral acorn]

lmaooo

[odd fern]

@junior forge do you know when the Arctis steel series 7 will be back in stock the one that is specialized for the series x

[coral ibex]

fuuuuu

i went to watch a video with the arctis pro i just broke and it's not just the hinge that's broken

[true igloo]

@odd fern please dont tag SS staff

Rule #8

[odd fern]

But do you know

[true igloo]

no I dont. You should be able to sign up for notification via the SS website for when a restock comes.

[odd fern]

I am signed up but it won’t tell me that

[stark rampart]

You'll get a notification when there's stock

Until then you'll just have to wait unfortunately

[odd fern]

K

[coral ibex]

how do i contact ss support

I've had a ticket open for nearly a year now and they refuse to close it

and I can't create new ones

I responded to the ticket already in June asking if they can close it but still haven't

[mental gyro]

might have to do with the GT86 turning into GT85 🙃

[coral ibex]

what

[mental gyro]

na i'm just messing around

if you honestly have a ticket that's been kept open for one year, that's an awkward situation

i mean, really.

[coral ibex]

yea it's weird

I found that I can open tickets via the live chat

wtf

ok

this mf bot

i told them i cant open a ticket lmao and they just say "sorry to hear that we are currenty experiencing..."

[mental gyro]

careful with the word filter, i guess 🙂

[coral ibex]

yeah

[stark rampart]

Please DM me your ticket # and I'll ask someone to look into it @coral ibex

[astral acorn]

no

send it

please

whoever that was

[mental gyro]

CP2077 is such a trash game, right..

looks like ghostrunner mixed with a poor form of matrix and GTA V

no surprise though, witcher was full garbage to me as well.

they can't make any proper games IMHO

still waiting on the project IGI re-make, hopefully that comes out.

Random question, do Arctis 5's work with the GameDAC?

I thought about maybe buying the standalone GameDAC and Arctis 5's as I haven't seen as many reports of the hinges breaking compared to Arctis Pros

[mental gyro]

hey i'm just expressing my general opinions on some stuff

[chrome inlet]

That is actually a great question

[strange finch]

i recommend looking at the gamedac page

specifically mentions compatibility with headphones that use the 3.5mm jack

[odd fern]

Low key tho steel series can make head sets keyboards and mouses but not mouse pads

[cunning moth]

What do you mean? They definitely make mousepads

And they are pretty good for the price

[odd fern]

Why are they 85 inches then

[cunning moth]

They are whatever size you want

[strange finch]

lol what

steelseries can't make mousepads?

[cunning moth]

[odd fern]

The ones I was looking at went up to 200-300 inches

[tidal vapor]

ermnmmm

[strange finch]

do you mean mm

[odd fern]

Maybe

[strange finch]

200 inches is over 16 feet

[cunning moth]

That would make marginally more sense

[odd fern]

Maybe

[strange finch]

you're probably talking about mm

and then it would be the xl series

they make much smaller ones

actually, 200mm wouldn't even be xl

my qck+ is 450x400x2 and my qck medium is 320x270x2

[odd fern]

I’m American so I go by inches

[cunning moth]

Even so, there's no mousepad that's 200 inches

[strange finch]

inches are a stupid measurement

[tidal vapor]

hoows everyone doing im so tiredd

[odd fern]

No there not

[strange finch]

12 to a foot, 5280 feet in a mile is so much worse than multiples of 10

[odd fern]

Y’all’s was so bad America had to make there own

[strange finch]

"y'alls"

you realize i'm an american

[cunning moth]

True patriot

[odd fern]

I’m as redneck as they come

[cunning moth]

[strange finch]

you have a light up keyboard

doesn't seem very redneck

Except for the gaming part ya lol

[strange finch]

in scientific applications it's much easier to use powers of ten to convert

[cunning moth]

Are you really in explosive ordinance disposal or is it more of a wannabe thing

[strange finch]

there are very good logistical reasons why it's hard to force the US to change to metric

[odd fern]

My dad is for impd

[strange finch]

but in terms of which one is easier to use straight up, it's metric

My uncle is in the military and I have two other uncles that are also police officers

Ketamine isn't that bad you know

[strange finch]

interesting first message

in what context is it not that bad

[balmy barn]

hey my arctic 3s sound awful and i just got them, what do i do

[strange finch]

sound awful how

too quiet? crackling?

[balmy barn]

the s's and c's sound weird

@strange finch

like scratchy

[strange finch]

could be you didn't plug them in fully, your onboard audio is bad, the headphones are defective, or there's interference from somewhere (which is very unlikely)

you have any audio drivers that have a control panel to modify how things sound?

[balmy barn]

well none of those are the problem

in control panel i can edit the thing and all, let me see if i can send a picture somewhre

[strange finch]

do you have spatial sound on or off

same for loudness equalization

and see if they also sound scratchy on your phone or something else

[balmy barn]

hmm

spatial sound is off and i believe loudness equalization is also off @strange finch

[strange finch]

what about exclusive control

[balmy barn]

i dont see that

in like where u see bass boost and all that

[strange finch]

advanced

where you change rate

turn it off

see if that helps

[balmy barn]

alrighty

[valid sedge]

Hello

[strange finch]

you can also try disabling bass boost, virtual surround, room correction, and loudness eq

[balmy barn]

bass boost makes it better

i dont know how to fix this sadly

[strange finch]

sounds like it might just be defective then

[balmy barn]

the s and c sounds have a sorta whistle to them and high pitched noises sound scratchy

yikes, i dont wanna make another run to best buy

[valid sedge]

Red white and blue

I would do the flag but it wont let me

[balmy barn]

might not go with steelseries again after this sadly, the headset is really comfy too

[valid sedge]

Everyone pls dont send a message

Ima do somethin

[strange finch]

please don't fill the chat with emotes

[valid sedge]

I was makin a flag

[strange finch]

even so

[valid sedge]

You messed it up 😥

[balmy barn]

[valid sedge]

Ah yes

Cat

[cunning moth]

Ultimately your choice - id recommend razers Blackshark line to replace the Arctis 3s if you want to stick to that budget

[valid sedge]

[strange finch]

i'd recommend the philips shp9000

no mic but good audio quality

[cunning moth]

You don't mean shp9500?

[strange finch]

yeah that's the one

[cunning moth]

Got it - also not a bad option

[strange finch]

in general i don't recommend headsets since a standalone mic and headphones will give you better audio quality

there's definitely use cases if you need one, like budgetary concerns

[cunning moth]

Definitely, but it can be more cumbersome if you don't have a proper setup and its generally more cost effective to get a headset

[balmy barn]

well my budget is slightly limited and if i could id get a blue yeti or at2020 and get a whole xlr setup but thats a little out of my range right now

[strange finch]

everybody wants an at2020 when you could get a k669

[balmy barn]

as well as behringer or whatever theyre called headphones

[craggy hazel]

Well i got my Apex 5 and my mom took it and i can't use it now

yay ;-;

[cunning moth]

Interesting

[balmy barn]

steelseries has such nice looking headphones so its a real shame

[strange finch]

it could just be that one that's broken

not really indicative of overall quality

[balmy barn]

good point

[cunning moth]

They've worked reliably for me for the past 5 years - id assume its more of a one off

[balmy barn]

well i cant return it right now as my parents have covid and i dont really wanna go near any best buy employees lol

[trail ice]

Any news on a second gen Arctis Pro? Hoping to see a bigger headband on it

[cunning moth]

I haven't heard anything of the kind

[trail ice]

Dang, I would like my headset ever so slightly lower but I’m unsure of how to do it. I already have the headband set as loose as possible

[cunning moth]

You must have a lot of hair - it fits fine, even loosely on me

[strange finch]

or a bigger head

[cunning moth]

Or that

[cunning moth]

650 but yes, paracablemods are your best bet

[pale imp]

are they only in the UK?

[cunning moth]

Not sure, you can check in the checkout if they'll ship elsewhere

[strange finch]

paraflex is US but they specifically say rival 600/310 aren't supported

[valid sedge]

Anyone know where i can get a good cable for the rival 600?

Possibly braided

[agile dirge]

@valid sedge You won't find one with the OEM style end on it

but most micro USB cables will fit

you can find a decent selection on Amazon

[soft wing]

i wouldnt recommend to do that @agile dirge somewhat considered self promotion

[plush junco]

There's none sold by ss themselves, but multiple cords fit in the rival 600. The Arctis charger headset does, even if it isn't the right shape, it's small enough to fit. So if you're looking for one it's gonna be hit and miss until one fits

[stray axle]

[agile dirge]

gotcha, thanks for the heads up

So, does anyone know where to buy old beat up Prism cloth mousepads for cheap? (already checked eBay)

[stray axle]

uhm

no

[agile dirge]

yeah kinda figured. Oh well, was worth the shot

I just don't want to go tearing up a new one, seeing as how they're, well, not cheap

[coral ibex]

SteelSeries support declined an rma request even thought i never asked for one

Do they not read the support requests?

I also have a feeling people don’t know how low 0.5m even is, I reported a flaw on the product yet they declined the RMA (while I never even asked for one)

[agile dirge]

If you're in Europe I suspect they should know what meters look like. Here in the US? I figure there are people out there that don't even know that a meter is a unit of length

[coral ibex]

True, but still disappointing they’re getting paid yet they wont actually read the support requests

I work at a techsupport as an internship, aka not getting oaid a single $. I may not be paid or a good tech support person, but at least I read the support requests and try to listen to customers.

[agile dirge]

[quasi wyvern]

Hello boys and girls

[mental gyro]

yo

[dim crater]

Omg

Apex 5 is very loud

[rapid estuary]

rip

So you work 8-9 hours a day

[dim crater]

Maybe it's because I only used membrane keyboards until now

[rapid estuary]

Should've gone with silent switches

[dim crater]

Nah

Too expensive

[rapid estuary]

wdym, the price is the same

[dim crater]

Apex 5 is blue only

[rapid estuary]

oh bruh, was looking at apex 7

😐

[dim crater]

I mean

It's satisfying

[rapid estuary]

If you like the tactility, but not the sound, then brown switches are for you

[dim crater]

Sound is okayish

I just didn't except the fact that it would be that loud

[mental gyro]

brown feels like crap IMHO, blues are the way to go, if not green talking in general

[dim crater]

Hopefully discord has noises cancellation 😂

[mental gyro]

you can dampen your keyboard if you're into boutique stuff but i doubt most people are actually going to go for that route

silent boards are hard to find as far as mechanical way of things go.

even topre silents make a fair amount of noise

maybe some form of $1000 custom made board i would have no idea who on earth built.

but it's not like most people are going to buy that so.. stuff gets much more confusing when you want silence

[tidal vapor]

no i work 12 hours 4/5 days then 1 short shift

[mental gyro]

sounds rough

about what the work is though.

obviously most body or computing work can mess you up that much

if you sit down a music store most the day, that can be easier, even more obviously

but with covid most your clients are going to have issues and even you so.. things are not going well on that front

[cunning moth]

lmao its not that difficult

[cunning moth]

In a $200-300 custom build it can be silent by using silent, lubed switches and stabilisers + dampening foam

[cunning moth]

Nothing confusing about it

[mental gyro]

i personally want my stuff ready-made if i'm shelling $300

i'm reaching my 30 and i haven't aged well, i have trouble with such stuff

[valid sedge]

Building a keyboard is more expensive but it is good if you have the money

If you want a good keyboard buy one but if you want a fully custom keyboard and wanna have something to do just build one

Custom keyboards are also easier to lube and switch stuff on them like foam and switches

But you can also buy a hot swappable keyboard that is good for like 100$ probably
